    Laid back & quaint restaurant, I'd say the vibe is somewhere between a cosy pub & a fancy restaurant which is exactly what I was looking for during my weekend away in Dublin. No draught beer unfortunately but the cocktails were amazing & made to a high standard (as was the food of course)! The service was 10/10 too!

    I've visited The Washerwoman with a friend 4 times in the past 6 months and enjoyed the experience each time. The food was always delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. The service was attentive but never intrusive.
